Thin White Duke Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I don't think I've heard anyone say her music is "groundbreaking" tbh, only that's it's fun. And it is. So there you go 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatGod Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 33 minutes ago, Miley Cyrus said: Katy Perry Billie eilish and Demi lovato did that already. Why are people overhyping her music and acting like she's the second coming of music?? It's just not sonically good. Like I said, if it's not your cup of tea then move on, as simple as that. not familiar with Demi charting in recent memory and IIRC Billie's first explicitly lesbian song is from her latest album, something that came out after Chappell started blowing up.

OrgVisual Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It's nothing groundbreaking but it's her persona that make ppl think "she's not like other girls" And tbf her fans are mostly 14-15 yo, they wouldn't know what groundbreaking means 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago her sound isn't unique, but she's making great pop music like some of our favs (Kylie, Rih, Gaga, Robyn, Kelly) consistently have done in the past. what's groundbreaking is not that she's singing songs about girls, what's groundbreaking is that we have someone who identifies entirely as a lesbian doing it. we have other great lesbian artists like St. Vincent, Torres, Julien Baker, and Romy, but they aren't solidified popstars with big hits. of course we have great bisexual popstars like Billie, Demi, Gaga, Madonna, and Kesha, but none of them are strictly writing about women. and i'm saying this as a bisexual musician myself! Chappell is part of a new generation of popstars, and in this generation there's no shock or scandal about her saying with a full chest that she's a lesbian. idk if there was ever another outright lesbian popstar as big as Chappell, but correct me if i'm wrong 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatiRod Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago "Good Luck, Babe!" is explicitly lesbian and a phenomenally well-written pop song, like classic all-time great pop song level 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Idle Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Everything about her has been seen and heard before. She's a cheap hodgepodge stealing from of Gaga, Cyndi Lauper, the Village People, and ******* Merida. Her music is basic af, everything sounds old and uninspired. Her personality is miserable but suits her music. Send her back performing at the shopping mall where she belongs. I'm still shocked adult men dance to her stupid music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Not sure either. Heard one of her hits songs a while ago on radio and thought it was Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Claire Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Yeah for me she's just another girl that could've emerged during the Tumblr days (Marina, Lana, Melanie etc are all better than her btw) mixed with some cool-retro aesthetics and queer representation. Her music is ok. Not my cup of tea at all but i don't get the hype either. Teens get easily gagged these days, especially some obnoxious and obsessed fangirls so there you go.

Anthinos Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I've listened to her music and I have to say that I personally don't understand the hype either, but I don't have to like everything. Her music isn't bad, but it doesn't blow me away either. On the subject of LGBT+, I always think it's good when artists from our community become successful and I hope we'll hear more music with LGBT+ themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eleganceislearned Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) 1 hour ago, RatGod said: lesbians in the industry =/= lesbians in the industry being mainstream, on the charts, and doing so with songs about being lesbian. Melissa Etheridge was singing about her relationships with women back in the 90s with MTV and mainstream radio play too and while looking butch AF. (Tracy Chapman too, though I have no idea if Tracy was out at the time though - that was more late 80s/early 90s and I literally can't recall that time accurately). It hasn't been seen on a mainstream level since then though, so in that case, I can see why gen z people might think the situation is unheard of.
